Abstract: A pumping system includes a pump array of multiple pump-engine assemblies. Each pump-engine assembly comprises a pump and a gas turbine engine driving the pump. A manifold is coupled to the pumps. A master controller is coupled to each of the pump-engine assemblies either directly or via one or more intermediate controllers. The master controller and any intermediate controllers are collectively programmed to respond to user input including a desired hydraulic output at the manifold by automatically calculating and applying inputs to the individual pump-engine assemblies to provide the desired hydraulic output.

Abstract: A system controller manages a gas turbine engine driving a pump directly or indirectly coupled to the engine. The controller is programmed to automatically determine and adjust inputs to the gas turbine engine in order to cause the pump to produce a user-specified hydraulic output.

Abstract: A pump system for high pressure, high volume applications is presented. The pump system includes a turbo-shaft engine having a drive shaft and a high pressure, high RPM centrifugal pump coupled to the drive shaft. In certain embodiments the pump system further includes a second low pressure, high RPM centrifugal pump coupled to the drive shaft.
